LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Support makes S.O. great place to live 

To the Editor: On behalf of the president and members of the South Orange Historical and Preservation Society, I would like to extend my thanks and apprecia­tion to the residents of South Orange, Seton Hall University, MAIN Street South Orange and the members of the MLK Club of the South Orange Middle School.

Our ability to participate and support the organizations like Main Street in Celebrate South Orange in July demonstrated the passion residents and businesses have for this town.

Our recent participation in the Seton Hall Family Appreciation Day Parade has bought home to our members the real world experience and joy the people of this town have for each other. We really appreciate the good wishes and many waves we received from the townspeople who came out and cheered us on as we paraded through town.

It is this genuine support and appreciation along with the togetherness that makes South Orange such a great place to live.
